Lucas: Meireles should be Liverpool Player of Season

Lucas Leiva believes Raul Meireles was Liverpool's Player of the Season.

Lucas Leiva believes Raul Meireles was Liverpool's Player of the Season.

The Brazilian may have scooped the Standard Chartered award for his consistent displays throughout the campaign - but when it comes to his own choice he reckons the Portuguese No.4 has been the Reds' main man.

"It's really hard to pick one player after this season," Lucas told liverpoolfc.tv.

"Dirk (Kuyt) was very important and scored a lot of goals. Pepe (Reina) was very consistent and then there's Raul.

"I'd pick Raul because it was his first season for Liverpool and he has been fantastic. He has scored some really important goals and deserves it.

"I know how difficult it is to come to Anfield and play. He has come in and shown everyone he's a really good player."
